ISB-Certificate Programme in Business Analytics (Batch 9)

June 16-20, 2014

Business Analytics, indispensable in today’s
age of Big Data, is an optimal mix of
Data Collection, Data Visualization, Data
Management, Statistics, Machine Learning,
Operations Research, Critical Thinking and,
last but not the least, the Domain Knowledge.
Being an interdisciplinary field, it creates
insights and values in ways hitherto unheard
of, to – Industry, Government and others -
thereby providing a competitive advantage.

Using detailed survey data on the business
practices and information technology
investments of a large number of publicly
traded firms is a big advantage. MIT and
University of Pennsylvania scientists, Erik
Brynjolfsson, Lorin M Hitt and Heekyung
Hellen Kim find that firms greatly benefit
from adopting Data Driven decision-making
based on Business Analytics. The output,
productivity, asset utilization, return on
equity and market value for these firms are
far superior to those firms that do not use
Business Analytics.
Business Analytics and Data Scientists are here
to stayand the demand can only increase.
